I really disagree.

I showed these pictures to my wife, and she didn't notice any difference.


By the way, my wife is very well educated. She has a bachelors in mathematics and a masters in business, so she's not some stupid dimwit.

In person, it's even more difficult to tell them a part. If you were at a party, and saw someone wearing a modern sub, you would have to grab them by the wrist and put it right in front of your face to determine which one it is.

Either one is cool. Not much of a difference.

Some people are more sensitive to details than others, it's hardly a matter of intelligence or education, come on now. I literally would not buy a maxi case Sub BNIB for 1/2 of MSRP. The look of the lugs is that jarring to me. Conversely, I ran out and bought a 2020 Sub as soon as I could get one. If you look at these two watches and don't see a major difference in appearance then great. I'm sure some people can't tell the difference between a 911 and a Cayman either.

But seriously, your wife can't see any difference between these two?

She eventually thought that the crown guard is different.

I really don't know if it is or not.

But seriously, in the wild, at a social gathering, it's even more difficult.

i tried it on last week, the claps is very big and i dont like it. Over all the watch head seems to look like smaller but in realty not.

my final decision its not worth the upgrade.
